Superman being recasted by Spiderman
Like you said, Marvel has taken relatively unknown characters and made them huge. Not to mention they have Marvel itself heavily involved, if not leading the process itself. They’ve also shown they’re willing to trust in their entire universe, and were willing to deal with their cosmic cast properly, and not just focus on Earth.
WB/DC on the other hand has fucked up the last few Superman movies, the last Batman movie, and a Green Lantern movie. They showed a lack of faith in their cosmic cast (odd, considering you have Superman leading the fucking pack), even turning a cosmic title like Green Lantern into a cheesy special effects laden bomb that took place almost entirely on Earth, wasting the PERFECT opportunity to show off DC’s non Earth characters and locations. They also have changed so much core history that it’s alienated entire chunks of the fanbase (Parallax, origin of Yellow Rings, Bane, murderous Superman, etc). Their main sin seems to be allowing director’s and producer’s to have too much free will when it comes to handling their products, especially when attempting to create a cinematic universe featuring a vast variety of characters, something that Marvel has handled nearly flawlessly WITH THE HANDICAP OF SOME OF THEIR BEST CHARACTERS BEING IN THE HANDS OF OTHER COMPANIES (X-Men and almost all mutants, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Galactus, Silver Surfer and other Heralds, Annihilus, the Skrulls, Uatu, Norman Osborn, Ghost Rider, Molecule Man, Namor possibly, and many many many others)
Marvel has Ghost Rider back. From my understanding, Skrulls are in a legal grey area.
yeah, they JUST got him, and Daredevil back. Doesn’t change the fact they haven’t used any of them yet, or felt the need too (although GR would make for a great comeback once Doc Strange comes out, and DD got a TV show).
Skrulls are a no go because they debuted in Fantastic Four, so the rights belong with Fox. The Skrulls were supposed to be the army in Avengers, but got changed to the Chitauri because of that fact.
You really don’t know how crazy shit will get when the FF rights go back to Marvel. SOOOOO many doors get opened. FUCKING NEGATIVE ZONE!
A lot of characters and concepts debuted in Fantastic Four that Fox doesn’t have their hands on. Ronan the Accuser is a Fantastic Four villain and he was used for GotG. The Inhumans have ties to the FF and Marvel giving them their own movie.
my bad, meant to say associated. Apparently these rights aren’t even really established, they get argued about as they come up.

I don’t really get much of the hate either, they have only put out one movie in the universe so far. I’m cautiously optimistic. Where are the sources about Hardy leaving?
I haven’t been watching any of the live-action stuff since I consider it more chick-shows w/hot guys and relationship stuff for girls, but using DC stuff (like Smallville) because the CW is out of ideas of their own, and they are also hoping these shows will snare male viewers who are desperate enough for superhero shows that they will ignore relationship drama that WB/CW shows are known for. Am I close, or have they stopped with their girly-pandering w/capes bullshit after Smallville ended?
Oh, and we have this coming up
Is Damian back from the dead yet?
Actually…yes.
That’s only because they turned Green Arrow into Batman for the series.

[/quote]You aren’t alone, I stayed far away from Smallville for that specific reason. I won’t lie, there is a bit of drama interlaced into these shows…but it’s toned way, way, WAY down; no more than you would find in any of the panels of the books. It’s not like Smallville which was pretty much Dawson’s Creek with capes, I was worried Arrow would be like this and it isn’t, and The Flash is just as awesome.

^This
But I’m not ashamed to admit it, the Ollie Felicity drama is good TV. At this point in time I really don’t care for Barry Allen’s love interest, its still way better than lusting over Laurel though.

A true romance.
I’m quite glad Felicity’s nude’s got leaked.
those nudes are super weak smh.
I’ve fapped to less
i did to…when i was 14
growing up is overrated. I could still fap to a Sears catalogue, if I had to. Either way, I know what her tits look like, and what 'do she is rocking down low.
FYI Felicity and Stephen are both from Canada. We really are the best.
Her nudes leaked…pm ASAP.
